I went to a mosque a church and a synagogue

No, it's not the start of a racist joke, I actually did! The place where I work had to inflate and deliver 500 balloons for a kind of faiths unite walk. We had to deliver some to a church, some to a mosque and some to a synagogue. By far the most helpful and pleasant people were the people in the mosque, the rest were so moserable! Thats has got to be the most religious contact I have ever had in my life! Are you a religious person? When was the last time you visited a place of worship (or one that wasn't your own)

Yes,i am.My religion is Islam and i am a loyal religious.I always pray at mosque but now i just pray at home because as Islam,we also can pray at home not only in mosque but better do pray at mosque because we can get many rewards from God.I am busy of my online work and need to only pray at home.But i never forget my responsibility as Islam religious.Thank you.

God does not reward people more just because they go to pray in a mosque. There is no meaning in misdirecting people. Everyone is equal against his judgement, you can not win extra point by only attending mosque ceremonies for prayers.

I was raised Catholic, but no longer attend services there. With everything that's happened within the chuch from molesting children, to the recently aired abused of orphans in Ireland, I have a hard time accepting their harsh treatment of people in general and women and gays in particular. We are as God made us and it's not their(or anyone's) business to point fingers and condemn. At the moment I don't attend any services for any organized religion. That does not mean that I'm not religious though. God is in my heart, and my life is my offering to him, and I try to live it accordingly.

thats understandable, I never understand how in one breath they say God loves everyone, but in the same breath will say that he hates gay people.

God loves all people.But human must follow God's rules and cannot fight it by do something wrong like gay,lesbian,robbery,murder.It is false from natural or usuall.Gay life fight the human's nature.

they hold no real significance for me as I am not a religious person, so I would have to say that they are all equal.
